Kibana "bettermap" widget

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I have been trying to configure a bettermap widget in Kibana using some
custom (non Logstash) data but the widget never renders the map and only
shows a graphic making one believe it is working. I have tested the curl
command issued by bettermap which appears to be working properly. The
"Coordinate Field" value is "pin.location" which should be setup properly
as an array ([lon,lat]) as this field contains data like, "pin.location" :
[ "[-73.630000,42.680000]" ].

I understand that this widget is experimental; however, is it only designed
to work with Logstash? If not, are there any other bettermap reference
documents than on the ES site because that page is extremely lean and I
have exhausted all of my other options.

Best,
Steve

Hello, i think pin.location must like this: location: [-0.125532746315002,51.5084152563931], then must work..

I am also want some help from Kibana usersteam, i am showing location in bettermap, but i want to connect them by some line, Is it possible in bettermap? Please tell me asap

The field has to be a numeric type (for example, double) containing 2
values in lon, lat sequence. Try double checking your mapping to make sure
it is not a string or something else.

Thanks Binh for the reply,

I cannot see any way ES would view the long/lat values as strings and had
also tried other geoip standards to no avail. My biggest issue is the
terrible or non-existent messages from ES or Kibana that could help shed
light on the issue. I guess bettermap is truly experimenal and not really
worth my time banging my head against my desk at this time. I will continue
to try and find better options (maybe not cheaper) during my
discover/prototyping stage.

Best,
Steve

Steve, if you can show a copy of your mapping here, I can take a quick look.

curl localhost:9200/your_index/_mapping?pretty

It should work fine, the only time it doesn't work for me is when I messed
up in the mapping.

Thanks so much for the tip! You were correct as did format my location
incorrectly.
